There are a few cases where the current escape sequence parser is inaccurate, which causes misleading syntax highlighting. * `hexadecimal-escape-sequence` does not have a maximum length, so `'\x00000000a'` is the same as `'\n'`. Godbolt link: https://godbolt.org/z/fq18PbPc4 * `octal-escape-sequence` can only contain octal digits `[0-7]`, so `"\749"` is `"<9"` and the `9` should not be highlighted as part of the escape sequence. Godbolt link: https://godbolt.org/z/rEcM88had * Any other character except the valid escape sequence characters are not allowed in escape sequences, so they should not be highlighted as escape sequences. This PR introduces `invalid_escape_sequence` so that invalid escape sequences can be highlighted.
